Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascara review

What Rimmel says about Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded collection

Based on the highly successful Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara range, Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascara claims to bring even more volume to the table. The new mascara is available in black and extreme black. It has a tapered max density brush which has been designed to capture every lash.

The Lowdown on the new Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascara collection

I’ve not tried a Rimmel mascara since their Rimmel Supercurler mascara came out (see the video review here). Whilst I wasn’t the biggest fan of that, I was really impressed with some of their earlier releases especially Rimmel Lash Accelerator.

I had actually just bought the extreme black mascara from Boots when Rimmel sent me the two shades to try. Aside from the colour of the tubes the mascaras are pretty much identical. Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascara in Black is in a very vibrant orange tube, whilst Extreme Black is a little more subdued in a plain black tube. I’m going to test one mascara on each eye to see if the different shades make any difference to the overall results.

The formula of the mascaras isn’t the wettest and it did take a little while to get a good build of up mascara on my lashes. It took several layers of the mascara on each side to get a visible result and even then it wasn’t the volume I was expecting. The majority of my lashes ended up looking clumped and I don’t think it added much volume. The length of my lashes after applying was fairly average but it did add a bit of curl.

The Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded mascaras do stay put all day without smudging or budging which is always a plus point. I can’t say there was a huge difference made by the different shades of the mascaras.

I have to say I was quite disappointed by this mascaras as I was expecting a lot more. My lashes ended up more clumped then volumised which was quite disappointing.
